The two leaders reviewed the growing bilateral ties between their countries and explored opportunities for further collaboration in various areas including economy, advanced technology, renewable energy, transport and logistics, manufacturing, tourism and culture.

They also discussed various regional and international developments and stressed the importance of promoting regional stability and cooperation.
